Abstract

In the past decade, beginning near the termination of the Korean conflict, an ever increasing percentage of defense appropriations ahs been going toward basic development work - - primarily the development of weapons and interrelated defense systems. Traditionally, this type of work has been contracted for on a cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) basis, the dollar amount of which has been rising steadily. In fiscal year 1953, for example, 15 per cent of all Department of Defense (DOD) procurement was on a CPFF basis, while in fiscal year 1962 the figure rose to an all-time high of approximately 38 per cent, or $10 billion.
